I've Been iASSIMILATED

I resisted as long as I possibly could... but the inevitable has come to pass.

I have succumbed to the virus, and i am now another casualty in the global pandemic that has afflicted nearly all of mankind, laying waste to social cohesion and traditional norms of what used to be known of as standards of congeniality in a civilized, "polite society."

I am sitting in my local outlet of corporatist fair trade coffee drinks to connect to teh Interwebz via free wi fi to make the first ever Hawaiian libertarian post via iPhone.

Lulz... now I understand the epidemic of auto correct denunciations and "this damn phone" lamentations found in nearly every comment thread and forum throughout the 'sphere.

I never intended to ever find myself in this particular situation, but then I never counted on a friend offering me one of these hypnotic hand held devices for free, since he recently upgraded to the latest release from the worlds foremost monger of Mobile Affirmation Devices.

So now I sit here amongst my fellow palm zombies, sipping java and staring intently down at my little glowing touchscreen, ignoring real people to communicate with virtual people logged on and dropped out all over the rest of the planet.

Yesterday's post was basically nothing more than an experiment to see how easy or hard it was to make a blog post with hyperlinks, a google pic and a youtube embed. Using the iPhone took me close to an hour to make such a short blog post.

I don't think I'll be making it a regular habit.

I've actually had the iPhone for about 2 weeks now, but have only used it strictly as a camera/video cam and web browser to surf the web whenever I can jump on some free wi fi access. I'm not paying for a data connection, still using my old flip phone as my cellular.

I absolutely hate the iPhone touchscreen keyboard and autocorrect.

@ Amy - I see somebody else has been visiting Tex over at his Vault in Australia.

lulz

If Tex is correct and we are in the end times and an extinction level event happens, I don't want to live beyond TEOTWAWKI.

Stuck in an underground vault eating canned food and rations for years while radioactive fallout and a nuclear winter apocalypse from a super-volcanic eruption that annihilates all life above ground is not my idea of a worthwhile existence.

I was just forced to get a smart phone by work. They are doing BYOD (bring your own device) and taking away our work phones. I'd have no problem with that. But being oncall, the only way I can work anywhere other than my desk requires a RSD (Remote Security Device) key... which has to be on a smart phone. Looking for other positions that aren't oncall.

The five worst states to survive the zombie apocalypse:46. Hawaii with a survivability score of 30

At first glance Hawaii would seem like a great place to survive the zombie apocalypse: it’s cut off from the rest of the United States, the weather is nice and there are volcanoes in which to dispose of rotting zombie corpses. But what if the zombie virus does spread to infect entire islands? Well, then you’re trapped on a small island with millions of zombies and basically no guns. Doesn’t sound so paradisiacal now, does it?

Chris Mackney committed suicide on December 29, 2013 because his ex wife was using the divorce courts in America to torture him and kidnap his children from him. He wrote a 4 page suicide note before killing himself.

MAKE THIS VIRAL! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE EVER TO HIT THE MRA/MANOSPHERE WORLD. THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER GET MARRIED IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

LATEST UPDATE: The ex-wife is such a psychopath that is she trying to copyright her ex husband's suicide note, in order to prevent it from being circulated on the internet. She is using her lawyers to threaten legal action against websites that published Chris's suicide letter.

The website "A Voice for Men" also got a letter from her lawyers and wrote an article about it yesterday:

It's not even that the Nexus 5 costs less and is better than the iPhone 5s, but that you get it unlocked so you can pick a cheap plan that's customized for your use case rather than some overpriced subsidized service.

When my last iPhone plan expired (3GS circa 2011) I switched over to prepaid and have saved hundreds if not thousands since.
